Conto Pay

Conto Pay is the hosted way to run agentic payments in Conto. Instead of wiring your own runtime, wallet, and approval flow, Conto provisions a managed payment agent workspace for you and exposes it through the dashboard and assistant.

​
What Makes It Different

Self SetupConto Pay
You connect and manage your own agent runtimeConto hosts and operates the payment agent
You link wallets and configure the workflow yourselfConto provisions the wallet, policies, approvals, and assistant controls
Framework installation is part of the primary setup pathUsing the hosted workspace is the primary path; framework handoff is optional later

​
What Conto Provisions

When you open Conto Pay, the workspace is created with:
  • a Conto-managed payment agent
  • a hosted wallet
  • starter spend policies
  • recipient allowlist controls
  • an approval workflow
  • a pre-minted SDK key for optional later integration
The workspace starts in sandbox so teams can verify the experience with the same hosted control surface they will use when moving to live money.

​
How To Use Conto Pay

1

Open the hosted workspace

Go to Conto Pay in the dashboard. Conto provisions or loads your hosted payment agent and its managed wallet automatically.
2

Add recipients

Use the assistant to add approved recipients and keep the allowlist current before you try to send money.
3

Stage a payment

Set the recipient, amount, and purpose. The assistant maintains the current payment draft for the hosted agent.
4

Authorize the request

Ask Conto Pay to authorize the payment. Conto evaluates the same wallet and agent policies used elsewhere in the platform.
5

Approve, deny, or send

Review pending approvals, approve or deny the request, then send the payment from the hosted workspace.

​
How Payments Are Initiated

Conto Pay is designed to behave like a hosted agent, so the assistant is the primary control surface. A user can tell the assistant to:
  • add a recipient
  • set the payment amount
  • explain the current draft
  • authorize a request
  • show pending approvals
  • approve, deny, or send a payment
Conto turns those operator instructions into the normal request, review, and execution flow rather than bypassing platform controls.

​
Policy And Approval Model

Conto Pay does not use a separate rule engine. The hosted workspace still relies on the normal Conto controls:
  • wallet policies
  • agent policies
  • recipient allowlists
  • approval thresholds
  • approval workflows
That means sandbox and live money can share the same control model even when the funding and execution environment changes.
